Corn Relish in Soup

“In the colder months, I make a lot of vegetable soup,” comments Martha C. of Celina, Ohio. “One day I was out of corn, so I used corn relish instead. The flavor was great. Now I include it in every batch; otherwise, my family asks what’s missing.”

Tasty toppings jazz up this no-fuss soup that has Mexican flair. The recipe for this sure-to-please soup was given to me by a friend. I make it often for company, and everyone asks for the recipe. You can substitute pinto beans in red chili sauce for the regular pinto beans and cumin called for in the recipe. —Michelle Larson, Greentown, Indiana
